Caramel Apple Baked Donuts Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 cup applesauce - see notes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Coat 2 donut pans with cooking spray
  3. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
  4. In a separate bowl combine milk, egg, and applesauce
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined
  6. Spoon into prepared donut pans more than 3/4 full but not quite all the way to the top
  7. Bake 23 - 26 minutes
  8. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool
  9. Drizzle with prepared caramel sauce

Notes

  1. I used my own slow cooker homemade applesauce recipe.  If you use jarred applesauce from the grocery, you may need to adjust the sweetness and/or seasonings
  2. If the donuts stick in the pans a little bit, just loosen them with a rubber spatula and they should pop right out
  3. This recipe made 24 donuts and I used about 1/3 of a 12 ounce jar of caramel sauce

    While these look delicious, I feel they may go against my desire to get healthier! Still, one (of four) couldn’t hurt….
